"Ban ME!"

ARGGGHHHH. I hate Windows ME. Every time I turn it on, I get some stupid run time error and it goes ARGGHHH.

I hate Microsoft. I hate Microsoft. I love Xbox.

Oh well. We should ban Windows ME. Don't ban me, it was only a witty pun in the title :D.

There are many problems with ME, but it is one of the best operating systems for drivers. 2000, NT and XP all have problems with unnoficial or unapproved hardware drivers, but ME does not have this problem.

The reason that Disk Defrag keeps restarting is because there are programs running in the background (often trojans/spyware) that haven't been shut down.
Also, the most stable version of windows to date, 2000, is hardly compatible with any new software. Because XP is built around the 2000 framework, there are also some issues with installing some software from the mid to late 90s.

I have ME, and find it quite acceptable.

Millenium Edition????

*Shudders*

People still use that junk?
Upgrade, downgrade, doesn't matter which just pick one and quickly. Nasty, nasty, evil little nimrod of an operating system is WinME.

if you dont want to get mac you could still get windows professional

it runs like a charm and never fails on you but it costs extra of course


P.S. mac sucks. no offence mac fans please

Yep, everytime i start it up. i blame kazaa

> SPOOL32 has caused an error in ....
never had this

Other errors include the disk defragmenter keep restarting
Age of empires keeps closing itself and if it lets it stay open, when i close it the explorer messes up and i have to shut down by Ctrl + Alt and delete.

ive got Me and it sumtimes freezes and even ctrl alt del wont work so i have to turn it off at the mains which doesnt do the comp any good. but i to love the x box, unless i sell it, which im hoping i dont have to, if they announce sum great games coming out i wont.

It's much cheaper, and less hassle.

Have you used OS X on the Mac, by the way? An unforgettable experience, for the wrong reasons.

I use ME, and explorer crashes a LOT

PC freezes up every so often too

And if you press delete then enter quickly (to confirm the delete) it trys to OPEN the bloomin' file, instead of comfirming the delete like in other versions of Windows. You have to wait a second before you can confirm. Truly, this is the most annoying thing EVER, especially when you try to delete over 100 files, and it tries to open the 100 files. Piece of poop
